Today, a convoy from Maine came by Winthrop School. There are lots of wreaths that were made in Maine and are being delivered to Arlington National Cemetery. They are going to be put on graves there. There were police cars, motor cycles, 18-wheelers and every vehicle that was participating had a wreath on the front. Our whole school went outside holding flags to show respect for what they are doing. It was a patriotic thing to do.
In math today, we did two journal pages of partial products and estimating. Partial products is a strategy we use to multiply higher numbers. Here is an example:
Partial products is pretty easy to remember. It helps us to practice our facts because there are tons of facts in one problem. We probably will be able to do a shorter version of this when we are older. Partial products is kind of fun. If you don't understand how to do partial products, just ask one of us or come find a seat in our classroom!
